'''Lake Clip''' is a speedrun strategy in the [[Lake Kingdom]] that involves clipping out of bounds using a [[Seam clip|corner clip]] to activate the [[Checkpoint Flag]] on the [[Warp Painting]] platform, collecting a [[Power Moon]] from the water below, then warping up to the checkpoint for another Power Moon. Because the clip is precise, it is usually only recommended for experienced speedrunners. Lake Clip saves up to six seconds in the [[Any%]] speedrun, depending on how quickly it is performed. | '''Lake Clip''' is a speedrun strategy in the [[Lake Kingdom]] that involves clipping out of bounds using a [[Seam clip|corner clip]] to activate the [[Checkpoint Flag]] on the [[Warp Painting]] platform, collecting a [[Power Moon]] from the water below, then warping up to the checkpoint for another Power Moon.

This trick is no longer optimal in any% due to the discovery of Lake [[Moon clipping|Moon Clip]] by [https://twitter.com/relaxmas1/status/1385121935336607746?s=20 Relaxmas], but due to that strat's difficulty Lake Clip is still used in RTA by almost all runners. | ||

Depending on how quickly the clip is executed, it can save up to six seconds in [[version 1.3.0]] and up to five seconds in prior versions in this category. The difference in time saved is due to the fact that Lake Clip introduces an extra load when compared to the easier route. | Depending on how quickly the clip is executed, it can save up to six seconds in [[version 1.3.0]] and up to five seconds in prior versions in this category.

=== World Peace === | |||
In World Peace, Lake Clip saves 2-3 seconds if done fast. After getting the first moon, you use a strat called [https://twitter.com/neeehal_/status/1311510568868618241?s=20 zipper dram] to grab the moon Cheep Cheep Crossing, and then [[capture warp]] to a zipper. After getting the moon inside the zipper, you then do the any% route up until the chest moon, where you go from the painting platform to the Rango fight. | |||
===Dark Side=== | ===Dark Side=== | ||
Lake Clip saves even more time in the [[Dark Side (category)|Dark Side]] category because the clip grants access to two more fast moons (out of the 250 needed to reach Dark Side). Lake Clip can save up to 20 seconds in this category, meaning that even if the clip is failed multiple times, it can still be faster than the route that does not utilize the clip. | Lake Clip saves even more time in the [[Dark Side (category)|Dark Side]] category because the clip grants access to two more fast moons (out of the 250 needed to reach Dark Side).

The route is the same as World Peace, but zipper dram isn't needed because you can still save time without it. | ||
